3.x to 4.0

Design claim

ST.96 4.0 introduced the possibility to mention business claims for more than one Contracting Party, following the accession of Vietnam. Before that, only the US required that a business claim be present in the international registration.



This change did not actually coincide with the release of ST.96 4.0, so that ST.96 3.2 had been opened by allowing more than one dgn:DesignClaimBag, which is an exception to the standard but was a useful and easy trick at the time to deal with the situation without having to wait for a major release of ST.96.

4.0 remedies to this abnormality by turning dgn:DesignClaimBag into a real Bag containing 1 to n dgn:DesignClaim, each of which being bound to a given Contracting Party and set of affected designs.

Designated Contracting Parties

4.0 introduces a slight change in the Hague Act naming convention: the word "Act" is prefixed to the Act year.


3.24.0
        <dgn:DesignatedCountryBag>
          <dgn:DesignatedCountry>
            <com:DesignatedCountryCode>EM</com:DesignatedCountryCode>
            <dgn:HagueAgreementActCategory>1999</dgn:HagueAgreementActCategory>
          </dgn:DesignatedCountry>
          <dgn:DesignatedCountry>
            <com:DesignatedCountryCode>GB</com:DesignatedCountryCode>
            <dgn:HagueAgreementActCategory>1999</dgn:HagueAgreementActCategory>
          </dgn:DesignatedCountry>
        </dgn:DesignatedCountryBag>
        <dgn:DesignatedCountryBag>
          <dgn:DesignatedCountry>
            <com:DesignatedCountryCode>EM</com:DesignatedCountryCode>
            <dgn:HagueAgreementActCategory>Act1999</dgn:HagueAgreementActCategory>
          </dgn:DesignatedCountry>
          <dgn:DesignatedCountry>
            <com:DesignatedCountryCode>GB</com:DesignatedCountryCode>
            <dgn:HagueAgreementActCategory>Act1999</dgn:HagueAgreementActCategory>
          </dgn:DesignatedCountry>
        </dgn:DesignatedCountryBag>

Business entity

The business entity is, with the design claim, another feature that only the US used and that is now shared with other Contracting Parties.

The change has no equivalent in 3.2 and previous versions as it was not possible then to specify more than one business entity status per registration. The code samples below must therefore not be seen as a translation from 3.2 to 4.0 , but as 2 very different information whose purpose is to illustrate the different structures of XML in 3.2 and 4.0.


3.24.0

<com:BusinessEntityStatusCategory>Undiscounted</com:BusinessEntityStatusCategory>
        <dgn:BusinessEntityStatusClaimBag>
          <dgn:BusinessEntityStatusClaim>
            <com:BusinessEntityStatusCategory>Undiscounted</com:BusinessEntityStatusCategory>
            <com:DesignatedCountryCode>IL</com:DesignatedCountryCode>
          </dgn:BusinessEntityStatusClaim>
          <dgn:BusinessEntityStatusClaim>
            <com:BusinessEntityStatusCategory>Undiscounted</com:BusinessEntityStatusCategory>
            <com:DesignatedCountryCode>MX</com:DesignatedCountryCode>
          </dgn:BusinessEntityStatusClaim>
        </dgn:BusinessEntityStatusClaimBag>

4.0 to 7.0

ST.96 7.0 introduces a fair bit of changes as compared to 4.0. For the moment however, only the representative management transactions have been implemented in the Hague System, so that this the only difference at present between ST.96 4.0 and 7.0 where Hague is concerned.

Representative management

Details about the new representative management transactions can be found here.
